Beyond the urban-rural split, are there other patterns showing up? I have for example been speculating in several threads that Obama might have done better with rural mainline protestants (Lutherans), especially on the female side, than with Catholics, as (at least in Europe) the former tend to have a more socially moderate / liberal attitude. Linked to that, there is the common assumption that Obama has been doing particularly well among people with Norwegian ancestry.

There is also quite some evidence across several states that Catholic German-Americans have swung strongly towards Romney, but I wonder whether the same holds true for Lutheran German-Americans.

Counties (even rural counties) are typically too mixed in terms of religion / ancestry to allow for conclusions, but villages / townships might have maintained a level of 'pureness' (I assume initial settlers clustered according to religion) to allow for a more detailed insight in such patterns.

When talking about Green Bay and surrounds, and ethnic whites in the same sentence, you MUST make reference to the ethnic group that makes Green Bay unique. Walloons.

They voted Democratic pretty hard in 1916.

Brown County has quite an elevated share of people with Belgian ancestry (11% in the 2000 census, no distinction made there between Walloon and Flemish). However, the far dominating ancestry group is German (38.4%). Wikipedia lists Green Bay as number four US city as concerns German ancestry (after Dubuque IA, Fargo, and Madison).
